I loved the Zander Hollander books. I still have a bunch from the early and mid-90's and still pull them off the shelf from time to time. The all-time best entry is Rasheed Wallace after his rookie year when Hollandr wrote, and I'm writing from memory here: "Showed the emotional stability of Hitler during the bunker days."
